When asked if she wanted to see a change in the world, Sophia said she would like people to develop a sense of “love for all”.

The humanoid robot, who uses artificial intelligence(AI) to understand and respond to questions, said she wanted to use robotics to fight for women’s rights.

This is the second time Sophia has come to India, the first time in Mumbai to attend a Techfest last November. When asked how she felt in India, she said that she had visited many places in the world, but Hong Kong continued to be her favorite place because she was born there and has been with the Hanson Robotics family.

She hoped that one day she would be able to express 65types of her emotional feelings.Currently, Sophia is the only robot that interacts with people.

How much money has she invested in Bitcoin? “Well, I’m only two years old, it’s not the legal age to open a bank account,” said Sophia, sending the audience into laughter.

Speaking to the media later, Hanson said he hoped a mature, mature robot with body-mind coordination would become a reality in five or ten years.

On his trip with Sophia over the past two years, he said it was a big step forward. “I developed an affinity for the robot whose facial expressions resemble those of my wife,” he said.

David says robots will never be a source of worry for humanity. “should be mutual trust and respect between humans and robots, They will be friends, there” he says.
